About

Our members are emerging professional theatre makers and arts managers, along with arts-loving allies from other sectors. We live and work in Central Victoria, and we make brand new theatrical works.

In every project we undertake, the aim is to provide high quality, affordable performing arts which are made especially to reflect our Central Victorian values, celebrate our successes and critique our failures.

Tripwire is for people who don’t have the time, resources or opportunities to earn a living full time from their theatre practice but still wish to be involved in a professional company.

Members come together to make relevant, original and punchy performance art, with each member offering what skills they can, when they can.

The committee maintains a highly professional overarching administration and management structure to support creative theatre-makers who are our members.

We work with emerging professional theatre makers and arts-loving allies from other sectors to create a professional theatrical production company, working across Central Victoria. We develop, present and represent our members and their original theatre work. We value audacity, reciprocity, creativity & sustainability.
